7.3.5 Geometric Count Tool
The Geomtetric Count tool uses edge content to find shapes in an image. During setup, the user identifies a section of
the image containing the target shape and assigns that shape as the reference for the Geometric Count tool. This reference
shape is subsequently used to locate all similar shapes in new images by searching inside the Search ROI. Geometric
Count returns the following information:
• Number of shapes found
• Location of all shapes found
Note: If the Geometric Count tool is preceded by a Location tool (for example, Locate or Geometric Find tool),
then the Search ROI will only translate by the amount that the preceding Location tool found. Thus, even if the
Location tool has rotation enabled, the Search ROI will not rotate.
Note: The Geometric Count tool requires strong and repeatable edge content in the image.
